Hello, Unison users, I'm recently using Unison to synchronize some of my source code from Linux on WSL to the C drive of the host Windows: Linux --- (unison -repeat watch) ---> Windows ^ Edit code etc. Reasons: - Editing Windows files (under /mnt/c/) with Linux apps is notoriously slow. Therefore I want to write apps for Linux directly on Linux. - Meanwhile, making the backup from Windows is easier than from Linux: I don't want to install Dropbox both on Linux and on Windows. Thus I want to transfer files on Linux to Windows. Currently I have to install openssh-server and my public key on Linux only for Unison, which is a little cumbersome. Now, I want to propose adding a new feature that enables unison to synchronize with the WSL VM via the `wsl --exec` command instead of `ssh`. `wsl --exec` can run arbitrary commands after automatically launching a WSL VM, which could make it feasible. Thanks for reading. Give me some feedback! --- 山本悠滋 Twitter: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://twitter.com/igrep__;!!IBzWLUs!U1bPr4s6inPjQ4YFCNXSptQsLXnyrjteiBjwcx5NWTLL0XliKWGvarT11QqWfXrkfa-Mk0C3fz4sImNPvYYIM0GdWIqWpYCf2g$ GitHub: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/igrep__;!!IBzWLUs!U1bPr4s6inPjQ4YFCNXSptQsLXnyrjteiBjwcx5NWTLL0XliKWGvarT11QqWfXrkfa-Mk0C3fz4sImNPvYYIM0GdWIoQI9uBZw$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gitlab.com/igrep__;!!IBzWLUs!U1bPr4s6inPjQ4YFCNXSptQsLXnyrjteiBjwcx5NWTLL0XliKWGvarT11QqWfXrkfa-Mk0C3fz4sImNPvYYIM0GdWIr4saTGgw$ > Facebook: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.facebook.com/igrep__;!!IBzWLUs!U1bPr4s6inPjQ4YFCNXSptQsLXnyrjteiBjwcx5NWTLL0XliKWGvarT11QqWfXrkfa-Mk0C3fz4sImNPvYYIM0GdWIriaVSJLA$ -- To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected].
